350 to straight 6 conversion... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 6 cyl out of an old parts truck that I want to put in my 71 while I have the 350 out. I have the motor mounts that were on the motor, but not the frame mounts or towers. What do the frame mounts look like? I have a set of V-8 mounts from a 72 I would trade locally for the 6 cyl frame mounts if this is what I need. I am pulling the motor to clean it up and replace the gaskets and do some engine bay detailing. But, I still need to be able to drive the truck, and let's face it, gas ain't cheap. The six "should" get better mileage...
